Green & Co. s report on cotton futures says:
THE market kept within narrow bounds to-day,
and presented no feature of very decided char
acter. When the cable advised weaker tone
abroad there was a slight response here, and
upon the receipt Of private dispatches suggest
ing that Liverpool was hammered on American
account, a recovery took place, assisted IN
measure by the showing of small port and in
terror movements for the week and continued
firm holding of spot cotton. Generally, how
ever trading was ight and careful, and nothing
Of special significance can be CLEANED from the
results of to-day"

CHICAGO May 20.-The clique had for awhile
easy selling in wheat this morning. Northwest
was excited over the dry weather. New York
was steady enough to give temporary encourage
ment, and July, which has been sold pretty
| freely on the theory that it was to the clique
dumping ground, was up to Sc. June wheat
| also started in higher at S814c. The talk was
| that June was pegged for the day at SIC, During
| the first hour June only once got below SSc. The
| trading to-day was of very general character.
While outsiders were sellers of June, nearly
| everybody bought other futures. The crowd at
| large bought very heavily OF July, while the
| clique brokers bought July, August and Septem-
| Der. All of these months fired up very rapidly.
| On June the crowd were particularly beartsh.
| 1t was offered frequently at o71sc, and once as
| low as S7a4c while clique brokers were bidding
| SSc in the pit at the same time. At SSc the
| clique took everything they could get. Prices
| for June showed small fluctuations; SSl4c was
| high and S7JEc low up to the close. June wheat
| closed at $50 and July at $500. The officials of
| the railroads threading the wheat sections are
| predicting largely increasedreceipts next week.

| other Northwestern points There was good
| demand for corn and oats all day. and the latter
| took an unusual sport The advance was due to
| hot, dry weatherthroughout the corn and oats
| belt. July corn was active up to 4114c, but in
the latter part Of the session it got down to 4lQ
| 4f16c, ard became more steady. July oats
| started at g714c advanced to 219sc. Later they
declined to 2716c, at which figure they closed
| very firm. Provisions opened firm at S6 20 for
| July lard, and 81 3716 for July short ribs.
| Trading for the first hour fair, and July ribs
| sold up to 81 40 and July lard TO SO S216, at
| which figures they became dull and quiet. AT
| the close provisions became weaker, the last
| prices being SO 30 for July lard and 81 30 for
| July ribs
